Post-Doctoral Position

The optimization group at FAU has more than 25 years of experience in modeling and solving complex and very large-scale planning and decision problems from
logistics, energy, production, engineering, and the natural sciences, see https://www.mso.math.fau.de/de/edom/.
Their key expertise is in developing and applying models and algorithms, which yield proven optimal solutions to optimization problems. This involves techniques like linear,
nonlinear, and integer programming, robust optimization, graph algorithms, polyhedral combinatorics, and the like. Furthermore, design of efficient heuristics and exact algorithms
together with effective implementations is key expertise. The chair EDOM - Economics, Discrete Optimization, Mathematics (Chair Wirtschaftsmathematik) consists of 20+ PhD students
and Postdocs, and is headed by Frauke Liers and Alexander Martin. The group participates in many projects funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), the German Federal Ministry
of Education and Research (BMBF), the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), the European Union, as well as by the industry

Your tasks:
Research on optimization models and methods and their real-world applications, e.g. energy, logistics and analytics

Additional qualifications:
We are looking for a team player who has a strong interest in coordinating research projects. Candidates with background in pure mathematics are also welcome if they can prove interest in transferring their theory to solve applied problems.

Job description:
Post-doctoral position (100%, German TV-L E 14) in mathematical optimization at the Chair EDOM - Economics, Discrete Optimization, Mathematics (Chair Wirtschafts­mathematik) at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Erlangen, Germany. This position is a temporary employment for a period of three years, with possible extension by another three years. It may start as soon as possible.

Your application:
Informal inquiries and applications can be sent to edom-office@fau.de. Applications should include cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications and statement
of research interest and at least one reference letter.

In its pursuit of academic excellence, FAU is committed to equality of opportunity and to a proactive and inclusive approach, which supports and encourages all
